I kind of like the threads like this one. It’s a person asking if anyone has bootleg VHS copies of the movies, I guess before there were any legitimate home video copies available.

That means most people on these forums were talking about memories they had of the movies from a theater. That’s kinda neat to me.

Also I like how a bunch of posts are really optimistic they’ll get to see more Star Wars movies by like 1986

i feel a tiny (but not too much) sorry for you. criminal action out on the open public with disregard for the law makes a strong legal case against you. and doing it in a newsgroup which LucasFilm folks must surely read takes a whole bunch of GAUL. (perhaps you could go for the insanity defense?)

normally i would just let the other comments stand, but in this case i feel it is important for USENET folks to strongly condemn your action. legal stuff aside, your type of request does harm to the net. USENET can be the forum for the exchange of useful information, and a place to relax and hang out. but using it for shady reasons is one way to ruin it for others.

That nerd seems to be notable enough to be on Wikipedia, too. lol

Edit: i should say, nothing about his wiki page actually seems that noteworthy or significant.
